Iran Press/Europe: The Storm Darragh has left millions of people homeless in the UK, and thousands of people across Northern Ireland, England, and Wales have been left without power.
According to the Iran Press news agency from London, a "risk to life" warning was issued for people living within the area covered by the Met Office's rare red warning for wind covering much of Wales and parts of the South West as the fourth named storm of the season reaches the UK.
This is while, England has not yet recovered from the consequences of the three previous storms that caused extensive damage to tens of thousands of people in the country, and a warning has been issued stating that Storm Darragh is on its way with winds exceeding 140 km/h.
The government sent the text alert to around three million people before the storm landed.
Falling old trees have damaged dozens of buildings and cars. The British Meteorological Agency has predicted that wind, rain, and snow will continue for up to 21 hours during the storm.
Relief agencies in the region are fully prepared
Initial reports indicate that many roads are flooded, and some roads are blocked due to fallen trees and disruption to land, rail, air, and sea traffic, especially in the western regions.
Relief agencies say that power is expected to be cut off in about 75 cities in the UK due to the storm's severity. For this reason, people have been asked to bring the necessary items with them and take safety warnings seriously.
Last week, Storm Bert killed five people in the country and caused widespread disruption to land, rail, sea, and air travel.
Relief agencies are also warning the British people through the media about the risks of life from roofs being torn off pieces of clay from buildings and other objects being thrown from balconies, falling trees, and cutting communication lines.
The occurrence of this storm has affected transport in the country and has disrupted the travel plans of tens of thousands of passengers.
In previous storms in this country, angry flood victims accused the government, the meteorological organization, relief agencies, and municipalities of performing very poorly in informing and providing relief, which caused the loss of lives of five people and the damage to the flood victims to multiply.
